I have found out this afternoon how commenting on related blogs of high page rank can hurt your SEO by bringing down your standings.
My page was number one for a particular keyword, the first result. But a week after leaving a comment on a related blog, that blog is now number one in the results and I am number four.
I believe this is due in part to that page having more content, older age, and more traffic. Yet, since I put up a site map for Google my page has been the first ranking, until leaving this comment.
Should I request the comment be deleted or learn my lesson? What is the lesson to be learned? Do I need to comment on lower page rank blogs?
